December 29th, 2005 - 6 Days Off
The next few days I won't be working at all, I have another 4 days to relax as I worked through Christmas voluntarily... anyway, all is pretty much down around here... if you'd like to read more from me, just check out a site I made long before Onision ever existed, a forum called "MessageHoard.com" ~ find me there, almost any time...
Soon I'll have new music posted as I purchased all the things I needed, yesterday.
Look forward to it... that is, if you liked my old tunes, and judging from the high traffic to OneMandBand.com ~ you will...
December 25th, 2005 - Ode To Lealan
As it turns out, I don't have to work today afterall... the plane I was supposed to guard isn't there, so they sent me home at about 0507 ~ and now I get to work on this site a bit because of it! Yeah!
Anyway, Lealan, a guy I met in tech school who is pretty much one of the coolest people I know, wrote me in regards to a recent post, and if yall didn't notice, I tend to give those who write in to my site a voice...
Ok, so check this out:
I was really intrigued at your December 23rd posting. Very deep, very inspiring, the same as when I knew you. Sorry you're getting the typical testosterone of mankind at work and about your personal convictions. I hope you can take comfort that I, assuming I was one of your harshest, rudest critics, still consider you a close brother-man regardless of your beliefs.
I'm so thrilled you got Sicesca.com up again. I'm going to take real time to read and learn it so we can have a real conversation about it somtime, especially to make up for the Camp Bullis field talk.
As for people throwing a fit about unconventional beliefs, they can piss on their party because we work 10 to 12 hour shifts to, in the long run, protect that good old 1st Amendment Constitutional Right. So, I just wanted to say you still have my support and I still consider you like a brother, and that I miss the old days! Happy Holidays, and KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.Thank you Lealan, I appreciate the kind words sent my way ~
As for everyone else, if you would like to send in feedback, and possibly find it on this site, please click this ~ or you can visit messagehoard.com ~ and I will post anything I find particularly inspiring from there. And again, I hope you all have a happy holiday season...
December 25th, 2005 - Merry Christmas
(I really don't know what that means anymore, but if it makes people happy...)
Hmm... what am I doing for Christmas... oh right, it's 3:47, which means it's 13 minutes from the time when I leave for work... [laughs] I'm not kidding. That's what I volunteered to do... guard planes on Christmas...
December 23rd, 2005 - Performing For You
Another short-clip was released today on this site, it features myself playing the piano, expressing my true feelings... HA HA HA! Download "MY BRAIN TINGLES" Now
December 23rd, 2005 - Losing Purpose
Today hmm... maybe I shouldn't say anything about that...
Skye [...], you know I love you... more than anything... I have a past though, one with other people, I've loved as friends... I've loved... sometimes, you just can't lose that... if I had to kill the world away, just to leave you alive, in my life... I would likely do it, that is, if I had forgotten about my family... but what I'm saying is, no one compares to you, my wife... and yet understand... everyone... understand, I still care about a lot of people... I think about the shining smile on Tia [...]... I think about the soft voice of Tanya [...]... I remember the cute rebellion of Shiree [...]... I miss the inspiring spark in Christina [...]...
I would miss my wife the most of all... because she is a collection of so many amazing things, and yet is still a challenge, to make her happy, to make her smile... I look forward to going home, every day ~ I'm so in love... I hope I never lose that...
All I'm saying, is today was bad... the people I work with, they spoke of horrible things, like their wives were objects... like the girls they made love to were the equivelent of a bad video game "yeah, I've played that... it sucked..." ~ how a man is losing his wife, and does not care...
We're all guards... Security guards... the others speak of how they hate their job, they want to quit... but can't... I was happy with this job, if I didn't hear what I did today, I would never question it...
So I'm going to IRAQ some day... so I've gotten screwed over on a couple work shifts and I just started yesterday... so standing in place, only to let a rope down when someone comes by is degrading... I thought I loved it ~ then they told me how miserable I should feel for having the job I do... like the person who loves candy until someone tells them it'll rot their teeth...
I just want a life... where I can lay back... and love every moment I'm alive... I want to speak to millions, and let them all see the light I want to bring to this world... I can be black, and cold... but I never hurt anyone, not intentionally, not taking pleasure from pain... but rather, learning to not let the blades pierce my skin, those scraping my ears every day... and when I learn to be bright, when I glow... I did it in the wrong place today... I'm sorry... to myself, my heart, my soul, my mind, my body... I'm sorry I let you down...
They asked me if I smoked pot today, if I had ever tried... They asked me if I drank... if I was ever drunk... If I smoked cigarettes, or slept around even... I told them no... I smiled... they didn't... then I heard what they had done... I felt like a child in a room of old men... and I cried (metaphorically) because I realized that I could have grown up like they did... that I could have been old by age 20.
I don't ever want to grow if that is what the flower blooms to be...
I love you... children of the world, those old in body, who chose to stay young...
They asked me if I was Bible-built... if "God" was my savior... I laughed, as it was before I lost the mood... I didn't tell him God was dead in my heart... I didn't tell him that the man never did anything for me, and that I shine on my own... brighter than what any god could ever give me ~ I didn't say that I didn't believe in the god he was trained to follow.
I am not pure... but I am not rotten... I am not white... but my spirit is not dark...
Skye [...], you are one of the few people I can rely on, to make me squint my eyes when I look at you... I picked a wonderful woman to spend my life with... and in many ways, I would be burnt out without you... losing purpose.
December 23rd, 2005 - Losing Fans
At 3:49am I read an email from a former fan of Onision.com telling me that he was no longer going to visit my site because I said "God Is Dead" ~ which hit a sore spot for him. I did that knowing quite a few people would become agitated, I also did it knowing that it was a massive insult to God-believing religions... the truth is, we live in America, I can say what I wish here, not representing anyone but myself, AS I DO NOT REPRESENT ANYONE BUT MYSELF (please, I emphasize this with all my will, I really am not the spokesperson for anyone, or anything else) ~ I am happy to say "God Is Dead" ~ as really, it's a joke, the man/woman/thing was never alive in my perception, and for anyone to boycott me for my beliefs is kinda... well... prejudice... I don't stop visiting sites just because they are Christian... I'm a believer in Sicesca (Sicesca.com) ~ That we all don't have to rely on some bullsh** god to get us out of ever mess we make.
I believe in myself, not some image that will never help me in any way unless I use my imagination, much like in Neverland. [sighs] I have to go to work, but for all of you who are sensitive on the Christian subject, just give up now, I'm not going to please you if you are bound by your imaginary gods. Alright? So get real, or go away. I only want open-minded people here ~ it leaves me much less judgment to face.
But thank you sir for informing me of how you felt, I respectfully decline the option to change my opinion however.
December 21st, 2005 - Oh, F*** No
Today they told us that if we stayed an extra hour at work, that we'd only work tomorrow for 3 or 4 hours... so after we agreed, and had stayed that hour... then added a couple more hours on it (just for fun) they told us that we would be working the next day, for eight hours + the travel time & gearing up = 10 hours... not to mention I have to show up at 4am ~ holy freakin crap!
It's ok... it's ok! I know things will get better... but sh** what a bunch of bull... if we had said "No, we're leaving now." ~ we would not be at work till 8am tomorrow, and we would of got off by 2pm ~ I guess what I'm saying is, now I don't have a weekend (because I've been signed up for a new shift thanks to today's decisions) I'll be working through Christmas, and I have a splitting head ache which makes me really just want to hold my breath till I pass out.
:) Merry Christmas ~ Seriously, I send good will and fortune to you... because even when I'm in the worst mood possible, I do my best to act like I'm perfectly fine... unless I don't give a fark about you... and right now, I don't know who I'm talking to... so really ~ God is dead, Merry Christmas.
December 18th, 2005 - Comeback Kids
I've decided to bring back Message Hoard ~ join the message board, and begin your chatter ~ messagehoard.com ~ I'll be there, posting if I get a chance... ;) ~ In other news, this site is pretty popular according to statistics... wow, thanks! But sadly, OneMandBand.com is MORE popular, which is weird because I shut it down for a month or two and it's still kicking ~ Bah!
Anyway, thanks for the support.
December 16th, 2005 - Oncoming Day
1. My site gained rank in Google today, now it's 30 out of 100, kinda good, but that is the equivalent of getting a 30 on a test, know what I mean?

December 10th, 2005 - Soul Caliber III
This is just me publicly admitting and demanding that Sould Caliber III, though entertaining at times, is an extremely retarded game. "I feel feelings." - A rough example of what the game creators would make the characters say, and trust me, it's not below them.
I just finished up playing the game... ya, it can get hard at times, especially when you playing "hard" difficulty against the Lizard Man in Sudden Death mode... did I mention "Lizard Man" is the characters real f**king name? Ya, they couldn't think of anything better, why not "Reptilious Bloodasa" or something that's not so obvious... hey namco! YOU NEED ME!!!!
I could write scripts so much better... like instead of pre-battle phrases like: "How foolish of you to anger me." or "Well, at least your stance is correct." or "Lady Luck is on my side today" say something badass like "What you will soon evolve to see before you is more than just my face, but your last memory, and your greatest fear." - Gregory J. Daniel ~ OR ~ "I've been given orders to end your life, yet ultimately whether you live or die is up to me... I've decided to take your head, so at least I can provide you with a more immediate death." - Gregory J. Daniel ~ OR EVEN ~ "I will not kill you simply because you are here to slay me, for I fear not death, I will only end your life in consideration of the fact that you inadvertently trying to make my offspring orphans, and this is entirely unacceptable." - Gregory J. Daniel
And one last one, "I sense evil bloom deep within you aura, and sadly, the only way I can remove this evil, is with my sword." - Gregory J. Daniel
I had to put my name at the end of every single one so the slower ones could catch on... not that I'm too proud or anything...
Regardless, the story line for Soul Caliber III is pretty lame as well, every single character has pretty much the same experience right up to the end, where more terrible scripting continues... bah... whateva ~ later maybe "Lady Luck" will hit you all next time namco.
Don't get me wrong though, I thoroughly enjoy Tekken, but then again, they're aren't many speaking roles in that game are there... maybe this is a good thing? Closed minds are best matched with closed mouths... just some wisdom, maybe even for my ignorant little self.
Mmm... I too love KATAMARI
Oh yeah, and what the hell does the game have to do with Souls? And how are souls calibrated exactly? Ok ok, one last thing, WHY NOT SHOW SOME DAMAGE WHEN YOU HIT SOMEONE! The characters look exactly the same starting as they do ending, that's farkin idiotic, same with hannibal mask girl... what the hell were you thinking when you designed her? (see image left)
December 7th, 2005 - Cash = Less
I feel sooo broke right now... I once had $3,000 and now I'm below $1,000 what with moving from Lakewood/Kent/Spanaway, Washington to Midwest City, Oklahoma... grrr! Anyway, hopefully I will be reimbursed soon... bargh.
Anyway, I have a few pictures of the new place, [still feels pain and discomfort from loss of moocho) --> Check em out ~
Greg/Skye's Oklahoma Apt:
Also, a couple of lame-o links I made... playstation3.onision.com PS3 Fan - metalgearacid2.com MGA2 Must Die
PS. Metal Gear Solid 3 is totally badass, by far, the best PS2 graphics I've ever seen.
December 2nd, 2005 - Huntington Place
Skye and I just successfully rented out an Apartment, for $500 a month we now have a 3 bedroom, 2 living room, 2 bathroom, 1 kitchen, 1 laundry room "crib" all to ourselves, but there's a problem... where the heck do we get things to fill the place up? [laughs a little] Anyway, we're working everything out... I've gotten a ton of financial burdens as of late, but I'll manage I'm sure... I've just been hit left and right by a trillion bills, I'm paying all of them... but holy crap!
Anyway, I'm working towards survival, and cozy survival at that ~ you'll know about it if anything goes wrong, hopefully I'll have pictures of the new place soon... wooo!
November 30th, 2005 - No On Prop. 911
I witnessed a crazy commercial a few moments ago... it contained the advertisement for voting on whether or not police will be able to locate you if you call 911 on a cell phone... they say it will save lives..."Proposition Mass Murder" - I call it...
So I'll tell you how it will end lives... if your child has a cell phone, if a criminal happens to know how to hack... can they not locate your child? You wife/husband? You mother? Your friend... whenever they wish? ~
Say I know where a very dark ally is, a road that a person takes every day, say I have access to government technology, maybe I'm even dillusional - psychotic... [rolls eyes] I could kill anyone I like in that ally... I know exactly when they'll be there, I'll see them coming, I'll know where everyone else is as well, when they carry cell phones, that's simply how GPS works...
[sighs] If a person is on a cell phone dialing 911 ~ the operator will ask them for their address... if they cannot answer, then it's too late for the police to show up anyway ~ they're probably already dead.
Hope this makes some sense to you... if not, I'll be seeing you in a dark ally someday. (note: if you think I'm serious about that, wow.)
November 29th, 2005 - Kind Words
I just read what Nicole wrote me a while back... I really appreciate it Nikki, thanks.
Stupid computers, this is the second time re-typing this. All I really want to say is that I have so much respect for you, and always have. I know it probab;y dosen't mean too much coming from me, but I'm glad that you chose your beliefs over breaking them for something you really wanted. It just proves me right in all the love and respect I have for you. Stay safe ok? And let me know whne things a re a bit more settled. I'm still waiting on that coffee... Be safe!
Nicole
Posted by The Melodic Dischord of a Broken Heart... on Tuesday, June 21, 2005 at 11:01 AMNovember 29th, 2005 - The Arrival
I'm here at Tinker AFB, in temporary housing, tomorrow I begin my inprocessing, today, I was released to finish whatever business I had... food, preparation of uniforms and so on, and on Thursday, I'll meet the commander... this should be interesting.
Regardless, I have nothing much to say, other than that I've spent a lot of money, and I hope to see it again, compensation for my journey's ~ as promised.
November 28th, 2005 - Progression
Today we went through Colorado, Kansas & finally made it to Oklahoma, however encountered sand storms, massive tumbleweeds, ice storms, snow storms, and pretty much all the other weather types excluding those involving rain...
Bah, anyway I also encountered something else, but that's secret for now...
The wind on the roads was so hard core that we actually found a semi-truck flipped upside down... wow... ya, surprised again we made it so easily.
Yesterday the I-70 highway was closed, and this morning, so we took back roads all the way here... arg... woo! Arg...
